What to name our new daughter

We had always felt called to the name Rachel and one of my dearest lifetime friend's middle name is Malia. Malia has flower meanings in almost all languages and since our Chinese daughters were Jena Rose and Lily, we wanted to have the subtle flower them in there.
Yet, day after day as we looked at that precious face on the refrigerator, we knew she was not a Rachel. Then God led us to the name.....Corin....meaning, a maiden. That plus Malia means " a maiden who looks like a flower."
God gave us such peace about it. We will call her Cori.
Our research indicates that Yi Hua means a magnolia flower.
